@AlpacaAurelius Every single time I scan a sunscreen on Yuka, it has carcinogens and/or endocrine disruptors.

Coincidentally, the same companies that manufacture these sunscreens also sell the "cures" for the problems they create...

@dr_ericberg Alcohol doesn't help you sleep.
It sedates you — which is different.

Sedation skips the sleep architecture your body needs.

That groggy hangover is actually repair debt.

Most people aren't disciplined.

They're motivated — which only works when conditions are right.

Discipline isn't doing the hard thing.

It's doing it when you don't want to.

Food quality is more important than most people realize.

Seed oils drive chronic low-grade inflammation.
Processed sugar disrupts dopamine signaling.

When your neurochemistry is dysregulated by inputs, willpower and discipline — the foundation of good lifestyle choices — erode automatically.

Fix the food first.

@SahilBloom All you need to build muscle is a pullup bar and the floor.

Thankfully, I didn't need to buy a floor, but I bought a pullup bar.

@CoachDanGo The person resting 3 minutes and lifting heavy is doing more work than the person resting 90 seconds and grinding through fatigue. It just looks less intense from the outside.

@theoliveranwar Men in their 50s with optimized sleep, low body fat, and resistance training routinely outperform most men in their 30s on testosterone panels.

Age is A variable.
It's not THE variable.

@thegarybrecka The gym culture that glorifies suffering confuses stress tolerance with health.
They're opposite ends of the same dial.

One builds capacity.
The other depletes it.

Chronic high cortisol is indistinguishable from chronic life stress — your body doesn't care about the source.

@ted_ryce A "meathouse" if you may.

They only feel good in their controlled environment.

@Mangan150 The common variable across every chronic disease epidemic is ultra-processed food.

The rest is noise.

@CoachDanGo One of the most underrated uses is post-meal walks.

Even 10 minutes helps pull glucose into muscle and flatten the spike.

@thehealthb0t “Safe at low doses” and “necessary to add for everyone” are two very different questions.

Focusing on only strength or only cardio is the real mistake.

1. They train different systems — muscle, bone, cardiovascular capacity, and metabolic health.

2. Improving one often supports the other (strength improves efficiency, cardio improves recovery), but neither fully replaces the other.

3. Versatility is what builds a resilient body — and keeps training sustainable long-term.

@thegarybrecka Caffeine works by blocking adenosine.

If you take it too early, you delay adenosine buildup instead of clearing it — which often shows up as an afternoon crash.

Timing caffeine later doesn’t just feel better, it fixes the crash.

Social media gives you constant exposure to people without real interaction.

You hear their thoughts, follow their life, feel like you “know” them… but the connection is one-sided.

The problem is your brain still counts it as social input.

So you feel less urgency to build real relationships — the ones that actually require effort and create growth.

It’s social junk food.
Signal without substance.

@ElieJarrougeMD Saying cholesterol causes heart disease is like saying oxygen causes a fire.

Oxygen is present, but it isn’t the root cause.

Metabolic health and insulin sensitivity are the real drivers.

Progress is not.
